This study aimed to examine teacher candidates’ levels of concerns about the environment. The study was composed as a survey model. The participants were 271 teacher candidates who are attending Faculty of Education at Gazi University. The Environmental Concern Scale, which was developed by the researcher, was used to gather data. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found as .859. Data were analyzed via SPSS 18 by using t-test and ANOVA. The results of the study revealed that the concerns about the environment did not differentiate according to gender, age, geographical region, and department, whereas the variables of “knowledge about the environment” and “environmentally-sensitive behavior” were significant in determining the teachers candidates’ level of concerns about the environment.
